HP Insight Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack integration
HP Insight Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack integrates with iLO 2 to enable the management of remote
servers and the performance of remote console operations regardless of the state of the operating system
or hardware.
The deployment server provides the ability to use the power management features of iLO 2 to power on,
power off, or cycle power on the target server. Each time a server connects to the Deployment Server, the
Deployment Server polls the target server to see if a LOM management device is installed. If installed, the
server gathers information including the DNS name, IP address, and first user name. Security is
maintained by requiring the user to enter the correct password for that user name.
For more information about the Insight Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack, see the documentation that
ships on the Insight Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack CD or the HP website
(

).
Server management through IPMI version 2.0 compliant
applications
Server management through the IPMI is a standardized method for controlling and monitoring the server.
iLO 2 provides server management based on the IPMI version 2.0 specification.
The IPMI specification defines a standardized interface for platform management. The IPMI specification
defines the following types of platform management:
•
Monitoring of system information, such as fans, temperatures, and power supplies
•
Recovery capabilities, such as system resets and power on/off operations
•
Logging capabilities, for abnormal events such as over temperature readings or fan failures
•
Inventory capabilities, such as identifying failed hardware components
IPMI communications are dependent on the BMC and the SMS. The BMC manages the interface between
the SMS and the platform management hardware. iLO 2 emulates the BMC functionality and the SMS
functionality can be provided by various industry-standard tools. For additional information, see the IPMI
specification on the Intel® website (
